8.) Senate Bill S-203 is saving federal properties opposite Parliament Hill from demolition and facadism. That includes the buildings on the northern half of the Sparks Street Mall that the Trudeau government expropriated in 1973---to prevent the construction of condos and to save the historic edifices. The Greber Report of 1950, page 337/395. "The south side of Wellington Street should be dignified and be treated as a continuous monument background to the north side. It should be subject to very strict height restrictions."
